About
Professor Dr Lim Kheng Seang is a Consultant Neurologist and epilepsy specialist whose credentials blend deep local roots with training of an international standard. He earned his MBBS from University of Malaya in 1999, and also holds MRCP (UK) and a PhD from UM. His neurology subspecialty training began at UM in 2008, followed by fellowship experience in Melbourne in 2011 and Cleveland in 2017, both centred on epilepsy.
He leads the Neurology Unit at University of Malaya Medical Centre as Head, and also sees patients at UM Specialist Centre. His clinical skills cover the full spectrum of epilepsy care, from non-invasive to invasive approaches: long-term video-EEG monitoring, intracranial monitoring with stereo-EEG and depth and subdural electrodes, cortical stimulation, vagal nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and procedures such as corpus callosotomy and radiofrequency ablation.
His leadership extends well beyond the clinic. He is currently President of the ASEAN Neurological Association (2023-2027), has served as General Secretary for the Asian & Oceanian Commission of the International League Against Epilepsy, and has held the presidency of Malaysian neuroscience and epilepsy societies. Research is another major pillar of his work: he has authored more than 150 original papers, with projects spanning epilepsy genetics, pharmacogenomics, novel therapies, quantitative EEG/MRI, and psychosocial aspects. He has also supervised trainees and fellows from both Malaysia and abroad.
Taken together, his advanced clinical expertise, international fellowship training, leadership in regional and global neurology and epilepsy organisations, and strong research record make him a top choice for patients seeking expert care in epilepsy and complex neurological conditions.
